1st – I haven’t mentioned it here yet, but weekend before last Mom took a spill down the stairs while watching the kids at E and D’s house. She turned her ankle around in a way human bones weren’t meant to go. End result – spiral fracture of both the tibia and fibula. For a while we thought she might avoid surgery, but Monday they decided to put pins and plates in. She had the surgery yesterday evening. So far she is having a lot of trouble managing the pain with out heavy pain meds, and had a restless night at the hospital. My dad is posting regular updates on facebook.

2nd -  I have a new phone number – (847) 693-7951  this number doesn’t replace any other number except that it should ring both my home and cell, and any other place I set it to as well.

3rd – As a reminder I read LJ regularly, I post at my blog which cross-posts to LJ and dreamwidth. I try to keep up on twitter, and post occasionally. But I almost never read or update at facebook, so please if you’ve mostly migrated over to FB, email me if you need me to know something, please don’t assume I’ll see it if you post it only at FB.

4th – Summer is eating me alive, I can’t figure out how it got to be late July already.

5th – I want to see harry potter, go to botanic gardens, clean house, garden, play some games, relax

6th – I am designing a pair of socks that I am very excited about.

7th – “Get dropbox” is a cool app for people using more than one computer. It creates a folder that is automagically synced to its online store of data.  You can move files to it as easy as copying or moving files on your computer, you can use the folder on multiple computers or you can access it through the web if you are on a machine that you don’t want to install their little app on.  Even better it works on all of the big three – Windows, Mac and Linux.
